Pak Jun Do are un tata autoritar, director al unui orfelinat in Coreea de Nord. Pe masura ce creste printre orfanii nevoiti sa munceasca pentru supravietuire, Jun Do isi arata loialitatea fata de conducatorii poporului si ascutimea instinctelor. Din postura lui de „cetatean umil al celei mai mari natiuni intre natiuni”, micul ambitios urca in ierarhie; devine soldat, folosit pentru lupta in intunericul tunelelor, apoi un soi de rapitor profesionist, specializat in disparitia japonezilor de pe plaje; inclinatia lui spre limbi straine il propulseaza spre meseria de transmisionist, cu misiunea de a intercepta mesajele americanilor. Trece prin tot felul de momente atroce si vede lucruri terifiante.
Cu vremea, scopul supravietuirii e lasat in urma si tinarul Jun Do ajunge pe tarimul detestat, America, cu o misiune de care atirna viitorul sau: va urma fie un drum luminos, alaturi de elita maretului stat, fie disparitia intr-o mina din care nimeni nu s-a mai intors.
